Estimation and Prediction of Drug Therapy on the Termination of Atrial Fibril…

Abstract—Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. Several therapeutical approaches have been developed to terminate the AF and the effects are evaluated by the reduction of the wavelet number after the treatments. Most of the previous studies focus on modeling and analysis of the mechanism, and the characteristic of AF. But no one discusses a…

Factors Affecting Circuit Life During Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy i…

Abstract: Despite abnormal clotting, circuits clot during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in children with acute liver failure (ALF).We report our experience. All children with ALF needing CRRT were studied over 2 years. Patient and circuit factors associated with circuit use were evaluated.Thirty-one children in liver failure (median age 7.4 years) underwent CRRT, of which 17 (54.8…

Skin Autofluorescence Is a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kid…

Abstract: Accelerated formation and tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), reflecting cumulative glycemic and oxidative stress, occurs in agerelated and chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM) and renal failure, and contributes to vascular damage. Skin auto fluorescence (AFR), a noninvasive measurement method, reflects tissue accumulation of AGEs. AFR has been repo…

Lanthanum Carbonate Versus Sevelamer Hydrochloride: Improvement of Metabolic …

Abstract: Sevelamer hydrochloride (SH) has been reported to aggravate metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia. This study was performed to evaluate acid–base status and serum potassium changes after replacing SH with lanthanum carbonate (LC) in hemodialysis patients. SH was prescribed for 24 weeks in 14 stable hemodialysis patients and replaced by LC in a similar treatment schedule. Laboratory te…

Cinacalcet Hydrochloride Therapy for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Hemodia…

Abstract: This study compared the efficacy of a cinacalcetbased regimen with unrestricted conventional therapy(vitamin D and phosphate binders) for achieving Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) targets for dialysis patients. In this multicenter, prospective study, hemodialysis patients with poorly controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) were randomized to receive a cinac…

Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: AssociationWith History of Coronary Hea…

Abstract: Perilipin-1 surrounds lipid droplets in both adipocytes and in atheroma plaque foam cells and controls access of lipases to the lipid core. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, dyslipidemia, malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis are common. Thirty-six HD patients and 28 healthy volunteers were enrolled into the study. Ten HD patients suffered from coronary heart disease (CHD). Per…

Forty-Eight-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Carotid-Femoral PulseWave Velo…

Abstract: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is an important predictor of cardiovascular events in the general population and also in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In the general population, cfPWV is strongly associated with age and blood pressure (BP). The best timing and method of BP measurement in HD patients is uncertain. Ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) have been used …

Angiopoietin Balance in Septic Shock PatientsWith Acute Lung Injury: Effect o…

Abstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) in sepsis is characterized by an increase in microvascular permeability, resulting in pulmonary edema. Several studies have suggested that angiopoietin-1 and -2 play a contributory role in the pathogenesis of ALI. Polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column hemoperfusion is effective for sepsis-induced ALI. We investigated the angiopoietin levels before and after dire…

A Positive and Proactive Approach to the Ethics of the First Interview

Abstract Some may view the initial interview as a mechanistic procedure complete with a list of tasks to accomplish. The primary purpose of this article is to deconstruct this perspective and encourage psychotherapists to explore the initial interview through an ethical acculturation lens. Using a case scenario, we demonstrate the need for purposeful reflection to better understand important…
